still with us, david jolly, karine jean-pierre, joyce vance, clint watts. karine, i'm looking at you. because this has to do with democratic politics. do you care to make any predictions about the finishing order in iowa and will it matter a whit to the larger race? >> you know, it's really hard to tell who's going to win. it really is. >> i'm glad you said that because that's how i feel. >> it's a jump ball. you look at the des moines register poll that came out about two weeks ago. it was a jumble. and that is a gold standard historically accurate poll. and it had them all bunched up at four. bunched up. there's another poll coming out from des moines's register on saturday which will have a better sense. but i do think that once that contest happens, once we have real data from voters iowa will set the tone on what happens in the rest of the primary. and it is just -- it is really an unknown. i think the question is is this going to be like 2004 where it was kerry which was more of the establishment, that's who iowa caucusgoers went with, or is it going

karine jean-pierre, jonathan alter, rina shah, and jason johnson. let's play joe biden because he's the person who is sort of the most kind of in play because republicans seeming to indicate that if witnesses get called, they want for some reason joe biden, who is not relevant to impeachment to testify. here is joe biden. >> if you're the nominee, is it going to be harder to run against president trump if he's been acquitted and able to claim vindication, especially after what he said about your family? >> it's irrelevant. there's no choice but for nancy pelosi and the house to move. he has, in fact, committed impeachable offenses. whether the senate makes that judgment or not, it's for them to decide. so it doesn't really matter whether or not he's gone after me. i've got to be in a position that i think about the american people. i can't hold a grudge. i have to be able to not only fight but also heal. and as president of the united states, that's what i will attempt to do. >> jonathan, you know, the attacks on joe biden's family have been so deep

karine jean-pierre, i always go ladies first anyway, but in this case black women are actually the core of the democratic party. >> they are the core. >> it is weird for me watching a democratic debate where black women were not there other than the one moderator. obviously abby phillip was there. but it was strange to watch a party that is just utterly dependent on black and brown voters hold that debate tonight. your thoughts. >> and we started off with the most diverse, the most talented of candidates in the primary, and it was not represented at all on the stage. it's problematic. this is something that the democratic party has to deal with. i don't think there's blame to go in one place. i think there's blame to go around as to why we don't have julian castro on the stage, why we don't have kamala harris, why we don't have cory booker. that is incredibly problematic especially before we could even have the first contest. we haven't even had the first

and when it's not reflected thin party i think that's the concern karine was speaking about. you have the energize people. >> you know that because you had to run for election in florida. it's florida it's a diverse state where you have to build a coalition even on the republican side that is somewhat multiracial because you have a lot of latino conservatives there. most of the black republicans i know are from florida. that's the place where they are in a fairly large number of republicans. so i mean isn't it a problem then for the democratic party to start its process in a state like iowa? my sister was born in iowa. there's some black people there. maybe now she's left maybe there aren't anymore, but there were at least when she was born. >> i think florida should be first because you basically have five different states in one. i know jason is going to make the case for georgia. but you are right, iowa and new hampshire may have had their time as the perfect place for a first in the nation caucus or primary. it does not represent the diversity of the nation now. >> at all

karine, how is this a cautionary tale -- let me lead you into this minefield by hand -- for what the democrats are doing right now, and that is deciding -- starting the long process of deciding on a nominee? >> well, democrats have to understand if you want to be the nominee, you have to have overwhelming support from african-american voters, from black voters. and if you want to win, if we all want to win, democrats want to win in 2020, in november 2020, we have to have overwhelming support from the black community. and we see that time and time and time again. and that cannot be forgotten. and here's the thing. just listening to that clip, brian, where he said, what do you have to lose, black voters understand that they have everything to lose. the thing is we have to be 100% clear here. donald trump is the most outwardly racist president that we have seen in generations, and african-american voters understand that. they see that. it is not -- they're not blind to it. he uses his megaphone to divide people. he uses it to spew racism and to give cover to white supremacists. so what
